There was a king’s daughter. Her parents gave her a ring and told [her] [never] to lose [it]. She went down to the water hole to wash her face. And the ring fell in the depths of the water hole. No one was able to reach it. She stood still and weeps [sic - blame the Lithuanians]. A serpent arrive[s] [and] asks “Why are you crying?”
